A New Favorite Color (Definitely Not Mellow)

Yellow!
It speaks of sunshine and daisies and-
No, not really. Mainly it is bright, bold, and bang-status.
But yellow dresses seem like they could get dated, so accessories it is:
A few options---
Marc by Marc Jacobs
Posh Turnlock Dot Bag
$498 at shopbop



Lauren Merkin
Lucy Patent Croc Clutch
$250 at shopbop













And shoes! Nothing like a bright patent pair to perfect a lemony look:















Dolce Vita Moritz
$100 at piperlime

Via Spiga "Ensue" Opalescent Patent Sandal
$235 at Nordstrom

And, although it's not technically an accessory, and although I haven't stepped foot in a Gap in about 7 years, this jacket is just the right pop of casual color that I require:

3/4 sleeved cropped jacket
$34.99 at Gap.com

(this would have to be paired with slick dark jeans or a floaty dress and neutral accessories)

The danger with yellow is screaming "CAUTION!" with your clothes, so if you stick to a minimum and use the brights only in unexpected places to offset an otherwise safe outfit, the result will be quirky perfection.

Oh, Happy Valentine's Day too!
